OK, let's start Day 178 right after midnight...how about 12:03am? Reflecting back to dinner last night, that being a chicken club sandwich. That fine-tasting sandwich had a whole lot in store for me than just satisfying my hunger. Oh yes...food poisoning. I awoke at 12:03am and what I felt was as if someone had my abdominal muscles all twisted up...it hurt so bad. To the bathroom I went...for nearly an hour. From then on, about every 2 hours, I awoke in pain and back to the bathroom. There was one time when I was on my knees over the toilet thinking I was going to lose it...never did, though. When morning finally did arrive, it only got worse before it got better. Finally, it was time to head in to work for the day and I bet I was as white as a ghost. My lips were super dry and I felt totally parched. Put on top of that a very, very slow day. I ate cautiously when I did eat and tonight, I feel pretty good. I had a winning dinner, too: salad...and french fries. Balanced meal, eh?! Yea, right. Simply nothing looked good tonight but those two things did. Oh yea, a bit of praline ice cream from my Afghan friend, too. Mohammed Azim is his name.
I think I'll just close the book on this day. Not much to talk about today and honestly, I had such a horrible night last night, I just want to head to bed and curl up. Speaking of curling up, I was getting so dehydrated last night that as the night progressed, I froze in bed and could not keep warm. Tonight...I'm in sweats. I'm not messin' around! See you at 179...
Goodnight, everyone.
